As the largest total of Revenue and the largest ratio of progression have been attained in the present year, so it happens that the largest Profit which it has ever iallen to the Directors to record has likewise on this occasion to be an The balance of net profit on theyear has amounted to 03,515 • of which sum £34,100 only h as b een appropr i ated to Dividend and Bonus, and the large balan.e of £49,141 been carried to Reserve.

The extensive and valuable properties of Crawshay Baile eq., M.P., known as the Aberaman Iron Works a nd Col "y, which are of European celebrity, have been carefully anrveyed by Joshua Richardson, Esq., M.LC.E., F.G.S., &e., and extend over an area of 1,531 acres of Freehold Land on the North Crop of the South Wales Coal Basin, and contain greater number cf the veins of i , onstone and coal than is usually found in any property of equal extent. The coal is the noted Aberdare Steam Coal, and certified by Mr. Richardson as " The best steam coal in the kingdom," aad stands at the head of the Government list. Mr Richardson describes the property in his Report " as 'ontaining 16 veins of coal, of the aggregate thickness of 48 feet, besides the numerous courses of ironstone, of the agc,,re gate thickness of 141 1 feet ; these extend over the area of the whole estate, and there are four veins of the average th'ck hess of 8 feet, which crop out on the side of the mountain ; and below the 9 feet there are four more veins of coal of 10 feet in thickness." The ironstone "is the black band, a carbonaceous ore, Which is comparatively rare, and yields from Si) to 70 percent. Of iron," and aso the ordinary argillaceous ironstone. The aggregate thickness is 5¢ feet. The estate contains at least 91,485,440 tons of whole or un- Worked coal, which would yield a supply of upwards of 1,000 black a day, or 3(0,010 tons per annum for 304 years ; and of lack band iron ore, 4,€40,5)0 tons, which is equal to 3,000 tons of bar iron per annum for 773 years ; and of .irgillaceous i ronstone, 135,3 9,270 tons, whi.l is equal to 500 tons per Week, or 2640) tons of bar iron per annum for 1,300 years . This Company has entered into a provisional contract for purchase of the whole of the freehold and leasehold estates, including the whole of the minerals, rents, royalties, Waylcaves, &c., besides the ironworks, coal-fields, and good- Will of the business, and a so the mansion, 300 cottages, buildings, plant, machinery, engines, stocks, railways, tram- Ways, and other property. Mr Crawahay Balky, although working the property only to a very limited extent, has realised very large profits, and retires, in consequence of advanced age, with a princely f,r lane. Mr Richardson reports that the income may be doubled or trebled u ith moderate additional outlay, and Mr. D. Jones r eports that £lOO,OOl per annum net profit can easily be realised ; and assuming only half this income be pro Iw:ed, s. and supposing the share capital upon which the dividend will v e payable to be £250,000, i: follows that, after allowing in terest on loans, &c., from 15 to 20 per cent. will be available for a dividend to the shareholders, and this not from an un ilertaking requiring to be developed, but from an old-estab ished and lucrative business. With a view to keep the called-up Share Capital as low as possible, arrangements have been made by which the vendor has agreed to allow a large portion of the purchase money to remain at interest; this will materially increase the dividends to shareholders. Copies of the Articles of Association, which contain the terms of the provisional contract, and of the reports referred to, may be seen at the offices of the Solicitors of the Com pany. Applications for the remaining shares must be made in the form annexed, and be accomp Anted by a payment of £1 per share ; if no allotment be made, the amount will be returned forthwith ; if a less number is allotted than is applied for, the amount paid on appli ation will be applied towards the payment of the £4 due on allotment—the balance, if any, being returned. Detailed Prospectuses and Forms of App'ication may be had at the Office of the Company, and of the Bankers, Bro kers, and Solicitors ; and also at the Offices of the Financial Corporation (limited), 14, Leadenhall-street, London.

Hall, guardship of the steam reserve, where he mustered and inspected the men and officers of the steam reserve, He also went on board the Devonshire, where he investigated the arrange ments made in that vessel for the instruction of engineers. The gallant Admiral likewise visited the Arethusa, 39, screw frigate, 500 horse power, which is only waiting Admiralty orders for the pennant, as she has been fully rigged and fitted in the first class steam reserve for some time. At 11 a.m. their Lordships landed at the dockyard, and were received by the Commander-in-Chief, Vice-Admiral Sir C. Talbot, K.C.B. ; Capt. Su?. C. Wise, Aide-de-camp to the Queen; Capt. W. K. Hall, C.B. ; Capt. Fulford, Col. Reddell, C.B, commandant of the garrison ; Mr W. humble, inspector of machinery afloat; Mr Moody, master shipwright ; and the heads of departments. They were saluted by a detachment of Royal Artillery from the guns on the Camber. On land ing their Lordships proceeded to the office of the Capt. Su perintendent and transacted business, then visited the working boathouse and boatahed. Thence they proceeded to and minutely inspected the Warrior target, which has recently been towed into the basin from Shoeburyness, after having been literally knocked to pieces by the Arm strong 600-pounder steel shot. Their Lordships next visited the North Star, 22, steam corvette, for the purpose of ascer taining the propriety of converting this partially-built ship into an ironclad. The new well was next visited ; this has recently been successfully finished, notwithstanding numerous difficulties which have arisen from the treacher ous nature of the various strata through which it has been bored by Mr Thomas Tilley, of Enfield. The engines were at work during the inspection and their Lordships expressed their satisfaction with the works. In the course of their tour their Lordships visited the new steam meeting sheers, which have recently been erected for the purpose of masting vessels, and which were, at the time, employed in raising the mainmast of the Bristol, 39, screw steam frigate, which is fitting for the first division of the steam reserve. While visiting the steam factory they inspected a most ingenious apparatus recently constructed from plans made by Mr J. Parker, one of the foremen of the factory, for the purpose of slitting copper pipes, and which they approved. Having completed the inspection of the factory, they lunched at the official residence of the Capt.-Superintendent of the yard. After luncheon they minutely inspected the proposed altera tions and improvements in the steam reserve department in the yard, visited the naval barracks, mustered and inspected the seamen and marines, and witnessed the working of the gunboats which have been fitted as fire. engines. Afterwards they proceeded in the Wildfire, Master-Commander Brock man, to the Research, 4, screw iron-cased ship, Captain A. Wilmshurst. It has been undergoing several necessary al terations in the portabler e bulwarks for allowing the battery guns to be fired either ahead or astern, a new plan of hinged bulwarks having been adopted by which they can be opened outwards on the vessel being cleared for action, and are so placed that they will prevent the smoke from the guns rolling inboard. Additional space has also been obtained in mid-ship battery for working the guns by the removal of the funnel ease and funnel. Several minor alterations have also been made to the engines of the vessel since her late experimental cruise, which together it is believed will render the vessel much more effective. On their Lordships' arrival at the Research, which had been removed from the harbour to the Little Nore, they proceeded to inspect the vessel, when the efficiency of the alterations were severely tested by firing from the 100-pounder guns several broadsides with reduced charges. Several rounds were also fired from the fore and aft guns, with both reduced and full charges. The results of the firing were most satisfactory, the concussions being almost imperceptible. At the conclusion of these experi ments the Research steamed into the barb3ur at full speed to try her machinery. The result of this trial was also most satisfactory. On arriving in the harbour at about 7 30 p.m. their Lordships at once proceeded to the Admi ralty-house to dine with the Commander-in-Chief, Vice- Admiral Sir Charles Talbot, K.C.B. The principal officers of the navy and army at Sheerness had the honour of invi tations to dinner. Their Lordships left Sheerness in the Enchantress, on Tuesday morning, for Chatham, where they arrived on their annual tour of inspection of the Dock yard, the Government extension works, and the naval establishments at that port. The members of the board com prised the Duke of Somerset; Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir F. W. Grey ; Rear-Admiral the Hon. J. R. Drummond, and Mr H. C. E. Childers,M.P. ; Rear-Admiral R. S. Robinson, Controller of the Navy ; Capt. R. Hall, private secretary to the Duke of Somerset; Major Clarke, Director of Admiralty Engineering Works; Mr Mallalieu, Chief Superintendent of the several Dockyard Police Forces, and Mr Spalding. Lord Clarence Paget, Chief Secretary, and Mr. E. L. Reed, Chief Constructor of the Navy, were both detained at the Admiralty on important business, which prevented their joining the Board. The Admiralty paddle-wheel steam yacht Enchantress, 250-horse power, on board which their lordships slept on Monday night after their inspection of Sheerness Dockyard, got under weigh at an early hour yesterday morning, and arrived in Chatham harbour shortly after 9 o'clock. The paddle-wheel steam-tender Otter, after embarking Captain-Superintendent W. H. Stewart, C. 8., Mr Thornton, principal master shipbuilder, and other officials at the dockyard pier, steamed out of the harbour to meet their lordships, who commenced the duties of the day by the inspection of the iron-clad frigate Achilles, 20, 6,121 tons, 1,250-horse power, which is moored a short dis tance out in the harbour below the Dockyard. On pro ceeding on board the members of the Board were received by Captain Vansittart, and by him conducted over the variout portions of the frigate. Only a comparative small amount of work, and that chiefly in the way of fittings, now remains to be effected on board, and there appears to be every probability that the Achilles will be completed and ready to leave Chatham in the course of next month. Owing to the length of time she has been lying in the har bour—a period of about nine months—her bottom has be come exceedingly foul, which will necessitate her being docked for the purpose of having the barnacles, sea-weed, and other marine incrustations removed before she can pro ceed on her trial cruise. No dock is now available to receive her at Chatham, and it wilt consequently necessitate her removal to Portsmouth for that purpose. After spending about an hour on board the Achilles, Mr. Childers and the other members of the Board engaged in the inspection re-embarked in the Enchantress with the intention of pay ing a visit to St. Mary's Island, for the purpose of in specting the extensive works now in progress for convert ing the whole of the island, eomprising an area of upwards of 300 acres, or rather more than three times the space occupied by the existing dockyard, into basins, graving docks, building slips, & c ., t o meet th e grow i ng requirements of Chatham dockyard as an iron shipbuild ing establishment. To enable their lordships to land a platform had been erected from the island running out to the tieu wail, but ill ceusegtionce of the boisterous state of the weather, and a strong gale blowing from the northward with the rain falling in torrents, the attempt to disembark were found to be impracticable, and their Lordships con tented themselves with steaming round the western and northern shore of the island, from which a pretty correct view of the works in progress could be obtained. These in clude the formation of three extensive steam fitting basins, the whole covering an area of between 90 and 100 acres, with a mean depth of water of 30 feet. Communicating with the basins will be, according to the plan at present proposed, at least six graving docks, each not less than 400 feet in length, and of corresponding. breadth, and all capable of recei ring the largest vessels of the navy, with the whole of their guns, stores, &c., on board—a condition which not one of the existing docks at Chatham now fulfils. There will also be the usual factories and buildings for carrying on the construction of iron vessels of wet. The first of the basins, which covers an area of between 20 and 30 acres, is expected to be completed in about a year. After satisfying themselves of the progress made in tin extensive works, their Lordships steamed np to the doctr;errd, and landed at the Queen's Stairs shortly before 11 a.ro., where they were received by the heads of departments and all the principal officials of the establishment. After larding the Duke of Somerset, with the other members of ire Board, attended by Mr Thornton, Mr Moore, and Mr Hutchens, master shipbuilders, and the other officials, conmenced their tour of inspection of the squadron of iron an' wooden vessels in progress. The latter description of Teasels may be dis missed with a few passing remarks, al of all the wooden line•of-battle and other wooden slips now on the stocks at Chatham not a single hand has been employed on either for a period to be reckonet by years, and in the present transition state of the l imy the Admiralty appear to be altogether undecided is to the ultimate destiny of what were deemed in their day the splendid line of battle and other ships which have lain so long idle on the building slips. The only exception appears to be in the case of the Reindeer, 17-gun screw corvette. which ac cording to present intention is to be at once taken in hand and completed for launching, although the particular service for which she is intended is not stated. Their Lordships made a minute survey of the Bellerophon ironclad frigate, and from frequent observations which fell from the leading members of the Board, it was evident they appeared tho roughly satisfied with the progreia made with the ship. They at the same time expressed tie fullest confidence in her designer. After leaving the Belerophon, a hasty visit was paid to the Cadmus. 21, and he Torch, 5, both of which are in dock fitting, and passiag the wooden vessels on the several slips their Lordships reached the Lord War den, building at the extreme end of the yard. This frigate has been rather more than eight mcnths in hand, and will g by the end of the en el th e armour - p l a t es w ill s p u ro in b g ab y ly ea b r. e coTmhpelpeltaendkfionrglatuo whirl be attached is now being fixed, ani the greatest activity used to hasten forward the frigate for the reception of her casing of armour. The most conspicuous object connected with the vessel, however, is the formidable cleaver-shaped stem with which she is intended to be armed ; and this ap peared to be the chief feature in the frigate which attracted their Lordships' attention. Leaving the Lord Warden, the Lords of the Admiralty visited the smithies, and wit nessed the operations of the tilt ar:tc other steam hammers for converting the shattered armour plates of the Lord Warden target and adapting them for the general service of the establishment. Their Lordships having lunched at the official residence of Captain Stewart, visited the ropery and inspected the new spinning and other machinery. They next proceeded on foot to Melville naval hospital, over which they were conducted by Dr. Kinnear, the principal medical offieer. In the course of their visit they inspected the plans of the proposed buildings for a smoking-room for the patients, ea well as a strong room, both of which works will be carried out. Some time was also spent by their Lordships in considering the proposed plans for removing a most dangerous hill adjoining the hospital, called Barrack-hill, in which accidents of a more or less serious character are constantly occurring. The plans suggested to their lordships—which are approved by the Board of Health—proposed the removal of one of the two roads leading to the dockyard, and by throwing them into one and lessening the hill, it is considered that the numerous accidents caused by the present roads will be altogether prevented. After completing their inspection of the plans, &c., for the proposed work, the members of the Board visited and examined the Royal Marine barracks, and the additional wing recently completed, together with the new officers' quarters. At the close of the inspection, Admiral Doummond left his colleagues, and proceeded to the Admiralty, and their lordships afterwards went on board the Enchantress, where they ;ace a dinner party. They will resume their inspection this morning. _ _ The following appointments have been made at the Ad miralty :—Lieut. Claude E. Buckle to be Flag Lieut. to Vice• Admiral Smart—Lieut. Horace W.

It is on the Stand at Knavesmire that one meets a few members of the scattered hosts of the fa.hionable world, as well as the well known faces of the leading patrons of the turf, not seen since the meeting at Goodwood. York position will a l wa y s c ommand an attend ancei upper ten" not graa t e d t o minor provincials, ifithoa of ‘h from t not t e s t r onger claims in tie character of the sport it affords. After the wretched exhibition of plating we have assisted at for this last two or three weeks, it is a relief to turn to the well-filled broadsheet that Mr Johnson issues, confident of finding somethin g to repay us for the trouble and expense of a northern journay. To-day 12 events on the card necessitated commencisg at one o'clock, the Zet land being first on the list, with Marigold and Little Stag as competitors. Lord St. Viacent's horse has lost his spring form, and exhibited none of that free borending action that marked him at Chester and on this course last M. Ho was defeated ea s il y by the mare. Clarior, grovrn i n to a powerful looking h orse, an d especially pre pared for the event, ran away from the favourite, Blue Mantle, u tw handicap s i s a f ea ture deserving of Burgundy Stakes with extreme ease. A card only reco rd in these da y s. Th e Chesterfield, which brought nine runner s to the post, wa s ano th er easy wi n f or th e f a vourite, Echo , an A msrican bred, one that Lord W e stmoreland pu rchased in the s prin g from Mr Ten Broeck. The Convivial , out of its 45 ent ries, only sen t six to the boasting r oy in theßu of g post—a fact speaking volumes fo r the hardness of the ground, which was certainly as bad as anything we re member on Knavesmire. Ohnsr, who ran so badly in the July meet at Newmarket, here came out and won rather cleverly after a set to with Gontran. The rest of the events we must leave to the telegraph. The attendance was not so numerous as on former occasions. The Zetland Stakes (Handicap), of 5 sovs each, with 50 added, for all ages. The Second to save his stake. One mile. Six subs.

Dubiety on the outside was the first away, closely fol lowed by Wisdom, a length in whose rear were Marigold and Little Stag. These positions were retained to the bend into the straight, where the two favourites joined the leaders, and ran in company to the distance, when the favourite came out, and won very cleverly by three-quarters of a length; a head between the second and third ; Wisdom finished close up. The Burgundy Stakes of 100 soya each, la ft, for 4.yr olds ; colts, Bst 101 b; fillies, Bst 61b. The second horse to receive back his stake.

Blue Mantle appeared in advance for a few strides, but was then headed by Clarior, who made play at a wretched pace, the favourite going on second, with The Plover in attendance. Passing along the woed side the pace some what mended, and as they neared the distance Biue Mantle was seen in difficulties, and halfway down was headed toy The Plover, who was neverenabled to reach Lord Glasgow's colt, who won with great ease by a couple of lengths ; length separated the second and third. The Selling Stakes of 5 soya each, with 50 added ; for 2-yr-olds and upwards. Weight for age, with selling allowances. T.Y.C. 12 subs.

Heartfield weighed for Obedience. 3 yrs, Est 41b, but on her way to the post she overpowered her rider and bolted into the town, and in consequence did not go to the post. On settling into their places Kapunda on the inside took a decided lead, followed by Stirrup Cup, Brindisi, New church, and Bandarilla, the favourite, in company with The Principal, lying some lengths in the rear. As they fairly rounded the bend Kapunda gave way to Stirrup Cup, who came on with a slight advantage to the distance, when he was headed by Brindisi and Bandarilla, the pair being joined on crossing the last road by Echo, who took a decided lead as they neared the enclosure and won in a canter by a length. There were three lengths between the second and third; Kapunda, who finished a bad fourth, was placed by the judge; Stirrup Cup was fifth, the Principal sixth, and Lyra next.

Immediately the flag was lowered Furze Chat, lying in the centre, was the first away, and made play at a strong pace, having Gontran next the rails, Zambesi and Wild Agnes as her immediate followers to half way in the distance, where she was beaten. The leaders were then joined by Olmar, who, on reaching the stand, took a slight lead and won cleverly by two lengths—two lengths separated the se cond and third—and a head between the third and fourth —the others were beaten off. The Yorkshire Oaks of 15 soya each, 5 ft, with 100 addc3, for 3-yr-old fillies, Bst 101 b each. Winners extra. Maidens allowed 71b.

Lady of Coverham, with Queen of Tramps, Tooi Tooi, and Light in close attendance, made the running to the bend into the straight, where the former declined, and was followed in a few strides after by Tooi Tooi, which left Light in possession of a slight lead, of Linda and Queen of Trumps, close up with whom were Miss Pickle and Gondola, who ran in company to the en closure, where the last named headed Light, and won, after a fine finish by a short head ; a length and a half separated the second and third horses. Queen of Trumps finished a good fourth, a neck each only dividicg her, Linda, and Lady of Coverham. Alice Fauconberg and Tooi-tooi were the last two. After the race Fordham objected to the rider of the winner for a cross, which wns investigated by the Stewards, who, after hearing evidence thereon, awarded the stake to the owner of Gondola.

(From the Registrar-General's Report.) The mortality in London has been much lower in the last two weeks than it was towards the end of July and in the early part of the present month. The total number of deaths in the week that ended last Saturday was 1,451. The deaths of young per sons (viz., under 20) have declined from 981 in the first week of Aug. to 824 last week. The 'all of the temperature has checked the high rate of mortality, the mean temperature of the last three weeks having been 65 deg., 61 . 2 deg., and 59 . 6 deg. successively. The average number of deaths in the 33d week of the 10 years, 1854.63 is, with a correction for in crease of population, 1,364. There is an excess of 87 in the actual return over the number estimated for the third week of August. In the two previous weeks the deaths from diarrhcea were 286 and 228 ; in last week they were 242. Of these last, 211 were among children. There were also 13 cases returned in the week as cholera—all or most of them probably the common summer cholera. But two cases wero registered as follows :—A man, aged 76 years, in the work house, Mount-street, on the 10th of August, "diarrhoea (two days).

At 11, Wimbourn-street, New North-road, a boy, aged 10 weeks, died of " exhaustion from destitu tion ;" and at 15, Half Nichols-street, Bethnal green, a boy, aged 8 years, of " convulsions from want of nourishment." A child, aged 2 months, died of diarrhoea from the administration of a very small dose of opium; and another child, aged 5 weeks, from an over-dose of morphia. A woman died at the great age of 96 years. There were 17 deaths from diarrhoea in Maryle. bone, 12 in Islington, 14 in Hackney, 15 in Shore ditch, 20 in Bethnal-green. Last week the births of 1,048 boys and 903 girls, in all 1,951 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 18b4- 63 the average number (corrected) was 1,849. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.928 in. The mean daily reading was above 30in. on the first three days. The reading rose 30.29 n. on Sun day, and it fell to 29.50 in. on Friday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 59.6 deg., which is 1.6 deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr Glaisher). The highest day temperature in the week was7B.l. deg., which was observed on Monday. The lowest night temperature was 42.3 deg., and occurred on Thursday. The range of temperature in the week was accordingly 35.8 deg. The mean daily range was 25.1 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 11.4 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the sir was 67, complete saturation being represented by 100. On three days the humidity was under, or not above, 69. The wind was generally in the north and north-east.• There was no riin in the week. The mean of the highest temperature of the water of the Thames was 65.2 deg. ; that of the lowest was 63.1 deg. The births registered in Dublin during the week ending the 20th of August were 145, and the deaths were 100, in a population of 254,808 (in 1861), spread over an area of 3,808 statute acres. The numbers are kindly furnished by the Registrar. General in Ireland. St. Thomas's Hospital. . A general court of the governors of this hospi tal was held yesterday at the London-bridge Rail way Terminus Hotel, St. Thomas-street East ; Alderman Sir John 'Musgrove in the chair. The minutes of the general court were read and confirmed, The CLERK then read the report of the grand committee on the 4th of August, relative to the duties of the treasurer, and recommended that for the future all uninvested moneys should be placed in the Union Bank of London, together with all cheques, &c., in the name of the treasurer and come mittee, the cheques to be drawn upon it to be signed by the treasurer and a certain number of the mem bers of that committee. That would place the hos pital in the same position as other institutions of the kind, and do away with the necessity of asking security from the treasurer. The report then con tained a schedule of the alterations recommended to be made in the duties of the new treasurer. It also urged the appointment of a resident officer, to be called a superintendent, and defined his duties, As regarded Mr Adams's charges, the committee felt that although the size of the medical and sure gical staff was somewhat larger than was necessary, considering the requirements of the hospital, yet considering the number of students there and other circumstances, they did not think it expedient at the present time to make any alteration in the medical staff. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the first part of the report, read a letter stating that Masterman's bank would be glad to take their account, and allow them 4 per cent. on their mini. mum monthly balances. Mr. SOUTH objected to coming to any decision as to having a superintendent without giving the governors ample time to consider the question. The CHAIRMAN said the adoption of the report would only affirm the principle, and that plenty of time would be given before the election of the superintendent. The first part of the report was then adopted and ordered to be entered on the minutes. The second part was also adopted in the usual form. The report cf August the 12th was then read, and exculpated Mr. Whitfield, the apothecary, from the charge of having accused the governors of supplying inferior drugs, wines, and brandies to the hospital, and entered into explanations showing that those articles were really good. With regard to the allowances of beer and coals to the apothe cary and matron, they had been made to them ever since they had been there, and their salaries were low in consideration of those perquisites. The com mittee, however, disapproved of perquisites, and recommended that they should be commuted for a money payment annually. The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, which was seconded by Mr TITE, M.P, Mr. ADAMS said he thought the system con demned in the report had been done away with, but on visiting the hospital recently ho found that it was still carried on. He found that in 27 weeks inl 863 the matron bad 109 gallons of beer, and that during the same period of 1864 she had 179 gallons, The fact was that she had brought her family in, and they had gone on in the same manner that she had. Mr. SOUTH said that she had only the same number that she had when she was elected. Mr. ADAMS said he was aware of that. He then gave notice that he would move a resolution tor the immediate abolition of those perquisites. After a long discussion, in which Mr. Tite, Mr, The CHAIRMAN said the prevailing op; inion of the committee was that he should not boa :dical man. Mr. SOUTH said he quite agreed to the t, and Mr. ADAMS also approved of it. The motion was agreed to. The duties recommended by the committee for the new treasurer were next adopted. Mr ADAMS then moved his resolution, but as the chairman showed him that the report accomiliehed ail ho desired he withdrew it. Mr. TITE gave notice that at the next meeting be would move that Mr. Baggrtilay be made un extra xnemb:sr of the grand committee for life, aca it was carried. Trlt4 CHAIRMAN said that he had known Mr. ADAMS for many years, and he be.li,!ved that what he had done had been for the best interests of the hoapital. (Bear). A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the pro ceedings. AN ENEMY'S ARMY. Every year Dr W. Farr presents to the Regis.. tray-General a statement on the causes of death in England. The memoir for 1862 has j ust been issued. We learn from it that the continued fevers (typhus, typhia, andtyphinia) 18,721 of the people in th e year. The records of the Fever Hospital supply m aterials for an estimate of the proportion of the mort a li ty to the number, attacked, and upon this authority it map ..b e taken killed that in the great battle with fe ver more than 17,000 of the people of England were de s troye d every .year in the ten years-18 48.. 1857—and above 135,000 were severely wounded, but res covered. The whole 135,000 probably averaged about a month's sickness, so that the average fever pa .. inflation was about 12,700. They would fin 127 hospitals with 100 beds each, and require in every year about 4,600,000 days' sub.. sistence. Typhus and relapsing fever (typhinia), like the pythogenic fever (typhia), are lit up by a specific zymotic meLter which is generated when human beings are badly fed and crowded together in an inadequate supply of fresh air. The seeds"( the disease (a.a only ha got rill of by a vigilant sani tary police, and by the effectual destruction of ty.. plaine, its existing leaven. Scarlatina was fatal in the year to 14,834 persons, which is nearly the ave rage. Malignant sore throat (cynanche maliyna) is allied to scarlatina in some respects, as it attacks the throat; and for the same reason diptheria, which was not at first recognised as a novel form of disease in England, was confounded with sore throat. The deaths by diphtheria were 9,587 in 1859, which, was the centre of the epidemic, but had decline d to 4,903 in 1862. Together these diseases —scar latina, sore throat, and diphtheria—destroyed above 19,000 lives annually in the eight yee.rs 1855.62. The deaths from smallpox were 6,460 in 1858, and fell progressively to 1,628 in 18132; 12,272 persons died from whooping-cough in 1862 its mortality is never low. Influenza has subsided, but it is undoubtedly often confounded with brou. chitis or pneumonia, which are its frequent sequels or complications ; 11,112 died of diarrhoea, which is often the result of a zymotic poison allied to those of cholera and dysentery. Thanks to the progress of cultivation and drainage, our deaths from agno and remittent fevers are few, only 21 in a million, living in 1862. Rheumatism is allied to thetie affections, and remains after they have disappeared, proving fatal generally by fixing on the mem branes of important organs. Seventy-three people died of privation (starvation), 471 of delirium tremens, and 246 of intemperance in other forms. Parasitic diseases diminish with the progress of cleanliness. One hundred and fifty-six persons, children, died of worms. Worms enter the body flan:ugh water generally ,and sometimea threugh diseased meat. Should errssageinsuts be made to dispo3e of the sewage of to sns, and to supply houses with pule water, we may hope to see the deaths by worms diminish. There was on ly one death from hydrophobia in the year. But zymotic poisons as dangerous as mod dogs are still ailowc to be kept in close rooms, in cesspools, and in sewer ts, from which they prowl in the light of day and in she darkness of the night with impunity to deasroy mankind, In 1862 zymotic diseases carried off 4.551 in every thousand of the population. The second great class of diseases—eonstitutional eases—were not far behind, Allowing for the ine crease of population, the proportion of deaths by cancer has steadily increased, while dropsy and mortification have declined ; but this is partly due to improvement in medical diag nosis. Deaths which would have been returned under the head of dropsy are' now traced to organic changes of the heart and kidneys. A common sequence is rheumatic fever, heart mem brutes injured, circulation obstructed, dropsy. But ia the constitutional class of diseases phthisis (con sumption) is the chief, The mortality by phthisis has fallen from 2.811 a year per thousand living in 1850-54, to 2.586 in 1858.62; but the deaths by bronchitis, with which in the chronic state phthisis ie liable to be confounded, have increased more than the deaths by phthisis fell. Bronchitis comes under the third class of diseases—namely, local diseases, which comprise four-tenths of the total deaths in the country, arising chiefly from affections of the vitals organs of the head and chest. Uniting the respiratory diseases with phthisis to get rid of any ambiguities of nomenclature, the mortality from the two groups of chest disease is found increasing from 5'580 in. a thousand of the population per annum in 1850-54 to 5.895 per annum in 1858-62, more than a quarter of all the deaths in England. It is a question of great interest, what has led to this re cent increase of mortality from inflammation of the air passages and air cells of the lungs. Of the 55,692 deaths in 1862 by diseases of the nervous system—brain, spinal marrow, nerves-25,286 were from the convulsion of infancy, in which the synape toms of disease are obscure. Bright's disease has increased greatly in the last ten years, but perhaps only in appearance, arising from a change due to the diffusion of pathological knowledge. Fatal stone cases have decreased, but diseases arising from in flammation or irritation of the mucus membranes involved have grown more fatal ; these are the evils to be obviated in using crushing instruments. A bold operation is now practised for ovarian dropsy,and Mr Spencer Wells considers that 185 of the women who died in the year might have been saved by surgery, six deaths in 1862 were ascribed to fright, seven to grief, one to rage, and 44 to melancholy. We have now reached the fourth class of diseases—the de velopmental—the diseases incident to the birth, de velopment, nutrition, and decay of man. In thi s class are 68,842 deaths. The great majority of them are from debility and old age, but of all the 429,000 deaths in 1862, the causes of which are specified, only 26,780 were from old age. The deaths of women in becoming mothers (including metric) were 3,077 in 1862. Ina series of these deaths from 1847 to 1862 the numbers commence with 60 deaths of mothers to 10,000 children born alive, and end with only 43. About a thousand mothers survived in 1862 who would have perished had th e mortality remained the same as it was in 1847. The improved registration of births accounts for only a portion of this apparent rate of decrease. Last come the violent deaths o f th e y ear, 14,944 in number, 7.43 in every 10,000 persons. About one death in every 29 is by violence. But the bulk of them aro the result of accident or negligence. The deaths by bur ns an d sca ld s f ell to 2,767, but by due precaution th e num b er of these fearful deaths might be still fin tla r reduced. Th e Red dental deaths by poisol bays on to 262. The suicides were 1,317, 611 of then: by the rope; 1 7 persons were executed. 12 were killed by lightning. This statement of the mortality of the y e ar suggests several questions of interest; ; .orne of them will be discessen in II : 11 1 1 plelSnental ve , 111: 11 0 which was in preparation at the Register.offio, showing the re" suits of the registration of the ten years lying he. tween the two last censuses.
